Gangster Ka is a 2015 Czech action thriller directed by Jan Pachl that is split into two parts: Gangster Ka (released September 10, 2015) and Gangster Ka: African (released November 26, 2015).[3] It stars Hynek Čermák as Radim Kraviec, a fictionalised version of Radovan Krejčíř. The film is based on the novel Padrino Krejčíř by Jaroslav Kmenta, whose works previously served as a basis for a similar film, Story of a Godfather.[4]

The film draws inspiration from political controversies of Czech politics. One of the characters, Milan Klein, is a corrupt politician who becomes Prime Minister, and is inspired by Stanislav Gross.[5]
